Answer:

In subduction of one plate over another on the basis of weight

Explanation:

When two plates moving and colliding, the plate with higher mass will subduct below the plate with lower weigh and lighter would remain above. generally continental types of plates are lighter in weight and oceanic plates are heavier.

Ex:- The collision of Eurasian plate and Indian plate. Indian plate is below and Eurasian plate above and formation of Himalaya

A pin fin of uniform, cross-sectional area is fabricated of an aluminum alloy (k = 160 W/m-K). The fin diameter is D = 4 mm, and

frozen [14]

Answer:

Given that

D= 4 mm

K = 160 W/m-K

h=h = 220 W/m²-K

ηf = 0.65

We know that

$m=\sqrt{\dfrac{hP}{KA}}$

For circular fin

$m=\sqrt{\dfrac{4h}{KD}}$

$m=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\times 220}{160\times 0.004}}$

m = 37.08

$\eta_f=\dfrac{tanhmL}{mL}$

$0.65=\dfrac{tanh37.08L}{37.08L}$

By solving above equation we get

L= 36.18 mm

The effectiveness for circular fin given as

$\varepsilon =\dfrac{2\ tanhmL}{\sqrt{\dfrac{hD}{K}}}$

$\varepsilon =\dfrac{2\ tanh(37.08\times 0.03618)}{\sqrt{\dfrac{220\times 0.004}{160}}}$

ε = 23.52

How long does it take an airplane to fly 5000 m if it maintains a speed of 240 meters per second?

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

20 5/6 sec

Explanation:

To find the solution we divide 5000 by 240

However, when you see a problem, always try to simplify

5000/240=500/24=250/12=125/6

Now the division is much easier

20 5/6 sec

A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 5.21 seconds for a distance of 110.m. Determine the acceleration

AlexFokin [52]

Seriously this is fun dont know why u want me to enjoy this so ummmm hmmm lolololol the equation for this would be s=vif+1/2at^2 so time is lets see plug it and vell vi=0 since it started from rest so s=1/2at^2 and plug it in the displacement and time 110=1/2 a 5.21^2 and solve it and u get 8.1m/s^2
